edit: freakin' typos.
I've never really been into PC games (mainly because my previous computer became constipated when playing something as simple as solitaire), but a few months ago I finished building my new computer and it now can actually play the latest games. Yay! Anyway, here are my new compy's specs if you're interested:
<Geek Speak>
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2200
RAM: 512MB PC2700 DDR
Hard Drive: 120GB 7200RPM 8MB cache
Motherboard: Asus A7N8X Deluxe (with built in USB2.0 and firewire and 2 LAN ports! whoo!)
Graphics Card: GeForce 4 Ti4200 (64MB)
You'll notice I didn't go all out on the graphics card. That's because it's just there to tide me over 'til Doom III. I predict there'll be some huge deals on graphics cards around that time. I also plan to upgrade my RAM and add another 512MB stick to take advantage of the dual channel memory and to have a total of 1GB of memory! Mwa ha ha ha! (I do video editing and photoshop stuff so a lot of RAM really pays off)
</Geek Speak>
So anyway, I picked up UT2003 yesterday and I've never realized how first-person shooters and the PC were just meant to be together. A whole new gaming platform has been opened up to me and I feel somewhat giddy. <insert girlish squeal here>
So anybody play UT2003 regularly or occasionally? Have any tips, tricks, or fun insight? Wanna recommend some other great PC games? Am I asking too many questions? Do you want me to stop?
*thwapped*
Alright, I'm finished.
